So, Mayberries/auberginesims Auberginesims uploaded some new Maxis Match skins that I've been stalking on tumblr and I HAD to give them a go! I love them! And it gave me a chance to test out some other stuff I had downloaded as well.  So I created a new Sim and then slapped her skins on another Sim that I've had in game.  HUGE pics beneath the cut!

( Maxis Match... )

I've also been playing Saints Row: The Third(I know, late to the party!). And I absolutely LOVE it! I love the customization(my girl Rochelle aka Roc is just fabulous! I don't care what anyone says!), the urban feel of the game and just the LOL moments that occur in the game. These pics have been posted on my tumblr already!

( Saints Row... )

I know my DW has been kinda dead but tumblr is taking over my life!:P And my niece is here for her annual summer vacation! That's always fun times!!! How is everyone here?

These have already been posted over on my tumblr. I'm still lurking around here! I hope everyone had a great holiday! ♥ I've just been working and gaming. Playing Skyrim, The Witcher 2 and Mass Effect 2 to prepare myself for ME3 next year! Anyways, more pics of Ice after the cut!

Every so often I get the itch to play in my MM hood. Tonight/today was one of those days. Just a few pics that can be found here. I also need to get on making a Sim for the TS3 challenge!

Also a few pics are posted of a makeover I did of the Roth family in Riverblossom Hills!

I'm off to watch some Modern Family!

And oh!! I was nominated for the Sim Storyteller interview on LJ for Lycan Tales. If you want to leave me questions you can!! :D

Trying to stay interested in TS3 so I came up with a thing...I don't know what to call it. It's not a legacy but...meh! *shrug* I posted this blurb on tumblr and got a pretty good response so I thought why not!? :P

I'm going to try something different so that I stay interested in the Sims longer than I have been...although you guys know I switch out games like crazy! Anyways, instead of going out hunting for a spouse I opened up Redcliffs(I forgot I had it installed!) and moved in three Sims. Two guys and a girl(only one of them is one that I made!). Just to see what happens...if anything happens. And me being me I have back-stories for them already!

A little randomness this way.

You guys, you guys!!! I have another addiction...and it is lovely!




DevianART picture here.

Does anyone else watch this show??



I even went and ordered the books! GoT is brilliant reading. All the descriptions and all that! And the show has Sean Bean! What could be better!?:P I made another tumblr that's not gaming stuff! More me stuff here.

Anyways, I haven't been on LJ for awhile! Sorry! It's just been crazy busy and I pop in and look at my f-list and pop out! The wedding is almost here. Less than a month away. Hopefully getting my hair braided sometime soon(called today and waiting for the lady to call back to let me know when there's an opening!). I got my gown and it's hanging in the closet. Ordered a new bra to work with the plunging neckline and celebrated my mom's birthday and Mother's Day all in less than a week! LOL!!

Did I mention that my uncle moved down here to be closer to my gram as well? He lived in Jersey for years and years but he came down, loved it and decided to move within the month! :)

Trying to get everything how my sister wants it for the wedding! I keep calling her about the music and what she wants done but she has her own worries(namely her fiance getting HIS passport! O_o).

Did I mention my mom's divorce is final? She went to court on her birthday! She said it's one of the best gifts she's gotten! :D

Still playing DA2 and The Witcher 2 comes out in 10 days. I can't wait for that! Fun times, fun times! Anyways, back to reading GoT!! It's my weekend so I don't have to go to bed just yet!! WOOT!! I think I might take my mom lunch or something! :D

This is how I wore my hair to work Friday(it's my going out style sometimes!) and everyone loved it. I think mainly because I either wear my hair in a puff or in a larger type 'fro because of the SOP and the dress code. But Friday I felt like doing something different and even tossed on some going out clothes(undershirt required of course!:P Cleavage is a no no!). Of course, than I got the third degree from the officers. Such as: "Who is he?", "Did you run him?" "Have him come up to the PD." Riiiight!! Haha! Gotta love those guys!

Of course I don't always have positive reactions with my hair and it's mainly from older black females. I'm good at letting things roll off my back and when I get annoyed I get really polite so they don't know how to react. Yeah, I'm good with that. One of the ladies at work(who HATES 'kinky' hair as she put it!) actually dug her fingers into my hair and told me how long it was getting! O_o Thank you but...I don't dig my fingers into your hair! There's an officer at work that's going natural and asks me tips and what not. She's upset because her hair doesn't curl at the end like mine does but I keep telling her all hair is different and she's transitioning(meaning she's letting her relaxer grow out and cutting the processed parts). I big chopped(literally BC'ed since I shaved all my hair off and just wore wigs the first year I worked there until Smitty told me to take it off! LOL!). I wish I would have taken pictures of the whole process but...meh!

I'm loving my hair and henna gives it the slight color it has. I find that natural hair products work better for my hair rather than the ones I get from the store. I've spent hours on the internet reading reviews, scouring sites, looking at ingredients...it's fun for me! LOL!! My sister, who is also natural, is thinking about starting to mix her own products which would be awesome!

Don't get me wrong I'm not one of those natural chicks that look down on relaxed hair or goes into spiels about how I'm rocking the hair that God gave me. Do you and what makes you happy and I'm happy for you! It just saves me money in the long run since GA is so hot and I sweat like nobodies business! I had to get touch ups every 4-6 weeks...unlike my mom who can go 2 months without one! I still haven't watched that documentary by Chris Rock: 'Good Hair'. It's on my DVR but I've heard about it. Some good, some bad!

Anyways, I've rambled long enough about random ish but I've been thinking about this for awhile. And Friday just showed me something about the people at my job.

Alright, think I'm going to go watch Shaun of the Dead again...or maybe Just Wright. I wish Boardwalk Empire had more episodes on On Demand since I haven't finished watching them all!! :(

I downloaded the demo today just to see what was what(especially considering I haven't beat the first game yet! I keep getting distracted!!). So far I’m liking it! I’m thinking release date delivery! :P But I have to beat DA:O in order to play this game because that’s how I roll! ;)~

They changed a couple of things. If you’ve played ME you’ll notice the conversation panel is familiar and it shows you what your reply is. Neutral/paragon/renegade(or whatever the equivalent is in DA: II.

Anyways, just a few shots I thought were interesting!


Anyone surprised I picked a female warrior??


( Bring on the pain... )

I just posted this question on my tumblr:

Maybe it’s just a pet peeve of mine but…shouldn’t, when you put up skins for download, you show the entire spectrum, from light to dark, on your tones? Some creators do this(thank you!! ♥♥) I mean it’s slightly irritating to download a skin thinking it’s going to be awesome only to try and make a darker Sim and realize that HOLY CRAP that skin is pixelated!!! -_- Sims 2 CC creators were a lot better at doing that I guess…

Anyways, just my rant.  Now going to get on the Wii Fit before I head into work! I should probably be less irritated by this yeah? Does anyone else notice this or is it just me? You can respond here or on tumblr!:P

Off to work! It's my Friday!! Huzzah! \0/

So, over on tumblr we were talking about how to make non-cookie cutter Sims.  This is Victoria Heathersby.  She's kinda cookie cutter but different for me because I actually took a bit of time with her. Anyways, just a quick show of how she was created!:P That's a shot of her in game since some Sims look different once they leave CAS.

( Click, click... )

First picture at regular resolution.  In game shot.  First thing she did was go look at herself in the mirror! Really? REALLY? LOL!! I think she turned out alright yeah?

And now I'm going to take a nap before I head into working tonight! Yeeeeaaah...so not!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY everyone!! ♥

This is how I've been feeling(hey! Meet Hurley!) lately with a lot of different things! But I have the next three days off so hopefully I'll get out of my funk!

Anyways, have a meme while I go play some more DA:O while I wait for the post office to open! Then later tonight I figure I'll take some shots and write out the next prompt for LT! Also, I...acquired Photoshop CS5. Anyone know of any handy tutorials because it's slightly...overwhelming! O_o
